Question

The GREB model simulates the climate system in a simplified way. While it does simulate a number of processes, it does not simulate all elements in the climate system. Below are a few statements on what the GREB model simulates. Not all are true, though. Select the correct statements.

Select one or more:

a. Biosphere interaction with climate.

b. Horizontal advection and diffusion of heat in the ocean.

c. Formation of clouds.

d. Snow and Ice cover.

e. The model does have some artificial correction terms.

f. Thermal radiation of the atmosphere.

g. Hydrological cycle.

h. Sea ice formation.

i. Subsurface ocean heat up take.

j. Daily cycle.

k. Formation of glaciers.

l. Horizontal advection and diffusion of heat in the atmosphere.

m. Carbon cycle (uptake and outtake of CO2).

n. Transport of atmospheric moisture.

o. Weather variations of the atmosphere.

p. Climate differences on the scale of 30km to 200km.

Explanation / Answer

GREB (Globally Resolved Energy Balance) simulates the following processes in the climate system.

1) Thermal radiation of the atmosphere.

2) Hydrological cycle

3)Sea Ice formation

4) Subsurface ocean heat uptake

5)Horizontal advecttion and diffusion of heat in the atmosphere.

6) Carbon cycle( uptake and outtake of CO2 ).

7) Transport of atmospheric moisture.
